This is my last question: I'm having a problem understanding this sentence in general:
La faible solubilité du monoxyde d'azote serait á l'origine d'un mode d'action essentiellement pulmonaire.

mode of action mainly/mostly in the lungs
Comme le monoxyde d'azote a une faible solubilité, sa voie d'administration va être plutôt respiratoire favorisant une action dans les poumons. S'il avait été plus soluble, sa voie d'administration aurait pu être autre, conduisant à une présence peut-être systémique et un mode d'action dans d'autres organes.

pulmonary site of action
The weak solubility of NO determines the esentially pulmonary site of action.
The term "mode d'action" in the source language is used incorrectly. The mode of action describes HOW a medication works, not WHERE it works.
